Denpa Men: Bizarre AR Game Now on Mobile

The New Denpa Men, now available on iOS and Android, lets you catch adorable creatures using your phone's camera. Engage in turn-based RPG battles against enemies and bosses, and enjoy quirky minigames.

When discussing Nintendo's game library, many overlooked gems stand out—often due to their unconventional style or departure from family-friendly norms. The New Denpa Men, a recent mobile release, perfectly embodies this.

This unusual but surprisingly accessible game blends augmented reality creature catching with classic turn-based RPG mechanics. Imagine Pokémon Go meets Dragon Quest—a unique formula that, until now, had yet to fully translate to mobile.

In The New Denpa Men, you'll capture the titular airwave creatures and lead them into battle within a traditional JRPG framework. Explore the world, fight enemies and bosses, participate in unusual minigames, and delve into the game's quirky charm.

Beyond the Camera: This mobile version boasts new event stages and a Voucher Collection system. Even better, it offers cross-compatibility, allowing players who previously enjoyed The New Denpa Men on Nintendo Switch to seamlessly transfer their saved data.

This compelling package is available worldwide. If you missed it on other platforms, now's your chance to experience The New Denpa Men!
